Riding lawnmowers used to have 10-12 motors for a 42-48 inch deck now have 22-26 hp engines.

Old HP is stronger than new HP... :biggrin:

Todays engines use a shorter stroke with a light weight piston than engines built 20 years ago. Some of todays pistons don't even have a true skirt. older engines used a longer stroke to get horsepower so they had a higher torque output.
